December 2013 was Mild, wet and Stormy

13/01/14

The winter so far here has been mild, wet and stormy. A series of deep low pressure areas, driven in by a very fast flowing jetstream, caused major flooding over Christmas, particularly to coastal areas. It has been unseasonably milld and the grass in my garden is growing again. Norwich had 88 hours of sunshine in December, the highest in the country.

Maybe we will not get any snow in Norfolk this year, but with maybe over 2 months of winter weather to come, the chances of that happening are very slim indeed.
